Open thread: Sunday morning talking heads

You would think, with scalps already taken and Eric Shinseki hanging by a thread, that the VA scandal would be top priority on this week’s Sunday yakkers. Nope. “Face the Nation” is all over it with White House chief of staff Denis “How many dead veterans do you need?” McDonough and American Legion national commander Dan Dellinger, who’s called for Shinseki’s resignation. But it’s business as usual on the other shows, with “This Week” featuring “headliners” Keith Ellison and Jennifer Granholm. Nothing gets me to clear my schedule faster than a back-bencher congressman and an ex-governor.

Dick and Lynne Cheney will be on “Fox News Sunday” to discuss her new book on James Madison and to dump on Obama for reasons various and sundry. Expect some warm words for the prospect of Jeb 2016, too. The full line-up is at Politico.
